It was raining heavily as Regalia made his way toward the river for a drink of water.
His mother called for him not far off telling him to be careful.
"I'll be fine mother. I'm just getting a drink."
Gently he bent his head to sip some of the fast moveing water. Normally when it was raining he would of just licked all the water he wanted from leaves but he was stubborn and just wanted to get away from his family for a bit. Since it had been raining all day he had basically been forced to stay right next to either his mother or his two older brothers all day. Being an only basket had its perks but being super over protected as a rambunctious foal was certainly not one of them.
It wasnt long before his mother called for him again so he lifted his head lips dipping with water and made to call out to her once more this time he sounded a little frustrated.
"mother I'll be fine I -" he shouted then stamped his tiny hoof. Suddenly the piece of bank he had been standing on sluffed off sending him into the rushing icy cold water however not before a lock of his mane got caught on a twig and ripped out leaving a little tuft of black and yellow hair blowing in the chilly breeze.
At first he tried to call out for help but water rushed into his mouth when he tried to speak and took what little breath he managed to find. Desperately kicking with his gangly legs he tried to fight the currents as best he could but he could scarcely tell which way was up let alone which way was to shore. It seemed like hours he was tossed about against rocks moveing further and further away from his family. Fear and regret welling up I the very depth of his soul.
Suddenly he went over an edge and crack, CRACK! Went the sound of first his leg then of His head striking against two two rocks.
Blinding pain and then blackness.
Eventually surely by the sprits own hands he was guided into calmer waters and washed up on a bank out cold far from home and far to injured to take care of himself.

 Vanmoriel peered up at the sun, the heat beating down on her like a fist. She'd been out most of the day gathering berries for the flock and flowers for her paints. Now, the heat was beginning to take its toll and she realised how thirsty she was. Her eyes scanned her surroundings and she was able to find her location quite easily; having traveled this way quite often. Shifting her weight, she launched herself into the air and took to the trees, jumping from branch to branch.
The stream wasn't far from where she was; though it looked more like a river with the recent storm. She took her bag off her shoulders and entered the water; a sigh escaping her lips before it was swallowed by the water as she dunked her head under and took a long sip. Opening her eyes underwater, she looked around to see if she could find anything that would be useful to her arts. A flash of orange caught her attention and she made her way towards it.
Vanmoriel burst out of the water with a gasp that was the result of not breathing and shock. Unfortunately what she had found couldn't be used for her art at all. It was a foal; still breathing but badly bruised. Taking a mouthful of water, she squirted it on his face, nudging him. "Hello? Wake up."
Her heart sank as she remember her father's stories of Rai; her uncle who was lost during a storm much like the one that had passed last night. Was this how he was found; assuming he survived. Was someone worrying about this foal as Taarab and his mother had worried about Rai? She nudged him again, nibbling on his ear. "Come on, little one. Time to get up."

Coughing up the water that had roused him, his eyes fluttered open. The first thing he saw with his head flat against the ground was large sharp blue claws. Four sets of large blue claws to be exact. Going ridged with shock his heart began to race the very breath is his lungs froze causing him to gasp.
Harpies! This was a harpy! He had herd of them before a massive herd of wickedly savage females brandishing razor sharp claws and gnashing jagged flesh eaters fangs. Who took foals back to their flock to be eaten or sacrificed and older males to work as slaves.
Then he felt it. She was already eating him alive starting with his ears!
Suddenly his breath came back the first thing he did was scream!
"I -I didn't know I was trespassing!!!! It was an accident!!! P-Please Don't eat me!!!!" fallowed by sobbing. "I - I don't wanna be ha-harpy f-food."
Trying to put his hooves over his head protectively he found that one of his legs hurt very intensely with any movement.
He couldn't run he couldn't hide so he just began to shake and cry.

 Vanmoriel took a step back and flattened her ears against her head as the foal screamed. She frowned and waited for him to stop before she stepped forward and looked down at him with a curious look. Eat him? Surely he didn't honestly believe she was going to eat him.. She looked down at her claws and pursed her lips. She supposed it would make sense for a child out of the flock to think the worst when they see these; especially if their heads had been filled with lies..
Letting out a slow breath, Vanmoriel smiled down at the foal and chuckled softly. "I'm not going to eat you. I just want to help." She looked down at his leg and noticed the odd angle, the signs of pain he exhibited when he moved it. It was going to be a long, painful trip home for him. Maybe she could manage him on her back? She wasn't as small as her mother, but she wasn't the largest mare in the Flock. But he was just a foal; she might be able to carry him far enough that she can get help the rest of the way.
Crouching down on all fours, she eyed him. "Climb onto my back. Hook your legs around to keep yourself on."SummedUp Tag! Totally lost this RP. Sorry! >_<

Her voice was- . . why it was soothing and certainly not what he had expected it to sound like at all. Slowly he opened one eye to look at her. She wasn't going to eat him? Help? Had he heard that right?
Tears still streaming down his face he sniffled a bit and cautiously he gave the ear she had nibbled a little wiggle. It defiantly felt like it was all still there.
Eventually his shaking eased though he still shivered from the early spring chill.
What it boiled down to he decided is that he could be afraid and distrustful all he wanted but in the end . . .What choice did he have other than to trust her?
So hesitantly he did as she directed wincing every so often. He tried not to look at his leg as whenever he did accidentally catch sight of it his stomach felt like it was full of . . .well gross things.
"Thank you." He took a few deep breaths as it seemed to help not only with the uncertainty and nausea but with the throbbing pain as well. "hypethetically* if you decided to eat me miss. i would like you to know i have a mother and two brothers who would be really sad without me- not to mention i like my meat where it is. So again just hypethetically if you could find it in yourself to maybe think that the happiness of a small family is worth more than the meager snack i would make Im sure you would find it worth your while."
*hypothetically is what he is trying to stay but he still fairly young so it didn't turn out that way.
LOLTERNATIVE ha um apparently i lost it for way longer . . . it never notified me that you replied.
